Abstract
A computer-implemented method for data loss prevention of unidentifiable and unsupported object types may include (1) monitoring, through at least one filter, data input to an application during execution, (2) scanning, through a data loss prevention scanner, the data input to the application to detect whether the data includes sensitive data that is protected by a data loss prevention policy, (3) flagging, based on the scanning, the application as having accessed the sensitive data that is protected by the data loss prevention policy, (4) detecting that the application is requesting to output a data object in a format that obscures underlying content, and (5) performing, by a data loss prevention program, a remedial action to prevent loss of the sensitive data based on both flagging the application and detecting that the application is requesting to output the data object in the format that obscures underlying content.
